Dunno. I did ride a Sacramento River boat. Of course, it had been refitted
to more closely resemble a proper Mississippi boat. Still has the single
smokestack, though. I speak, of course, of the Delta Queen, which made the
trip towed backwards through the Panama Canal (crated like a piano and towed
by a tug) just after the war. My wife and I rode it from Saint Louis to
Saint Paul in the fall of 1973.
Last I heard, the Delta King was still in California (Stockton?), with quite
a few of its parts cannibalized for the Queen.
